Description of work
Located on the Central Valley Greenway between Lakewood and Nanaimo Streets, the artist positioned six steel benches shaped like vine maple-seed wings. Steel silhouettes of crows high on poles overlook the cluster of benches and a crushed granite pathway. The same benches are repeated at 12th Avenue and further east at Slocan Street where another group of poles support silhouettes of coyotes.
Artist statement
The imagery for this work was derived from local and indigenous flora and fauna; the benches are representative of flora that once grew along the site, while the crow and coyote icons represent survival and adaptability in the urban environment.
